So here you all are, Father Steve, Owlbow and LukeJavan8 have two points even if the points don't count. And many have 1.

Thank you all participants, it was work but also a pleasure.
The real definition is 2 points in the negative, but the Hog is happy to jump to muddy waters.

Yes, I was wrong, its mountaineering!! Hurray! Ahoy! Busy times or soft in the head from now on? Thank God this did not happen at the French Court in the 18th Century. It would have meant banishment for life to the New World.
*The deepest essence however is whether things are fun and whether you feel yourself a stranger in a strange land or not. (thanks wofaholicodoc)
